New Chern-Simons densities in both odd and even dimensions

  • 1. Dublin Insitute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), Dublin (Ireland)

Description

Full text: (author)After reviewing briefly the dimensional reduction of Chern-Pontryagin densities, it is defined a new Chern-Simons densities expressed in terms of Yang-Mills and Higgs fields. These are defined in all dimensions, including in even dimensional spacetimes. They are constructed by subjecting the dimensionally reduced Chern-Pontryagin densities to further descent by two steps
